It's hard to believe this movie did not get censorship approval. No where in the film do the characters mention what drug was involved or that drugs were even being used. Really the story teaches a morality lesson and that should be applauded.
Frank Sinatra performed very well in Golden Arm. He make good use of subtlety and facial gestures. I did not not the melodramatic performance of Eleanor Parker, although I liked her last bit just before the film ended. The music is too intrusive throughout much of the film and that really messes up the flow of the story in places. But overall pretty decent.
